Joy

Thought I'd never be waking
On the kitchen floor
But here I lie, not the first time
Now my morning has broken
And it brings the fear
My minds falling, fall in
Then I feel my pulse quickening
But regrets can't change anything
Yeah I feel my pulse quickening
When your name lights up the screen
Oh Joy
When you call me
I was giving up
Oh I was giving in
Joy
Set my mind free
I was giving up
Oh I was giving in
How'd you always know when I'm down?
How'd you always know when I'm down?
Take a walk through the wreckage
Clearing out my head
I hear your eyes roll, right down the phone
I'm your walking disaster, keep on dragging me
From self-pity, poor me
Then I feel my pulse quickening
But I wouldn't change a thing
Oh Joy
When you call me
I was giving up
Oh I was giving in
Joy
Set my mind free
I was giving up
Oh I was giving in
How'd you always know when I'm down?
How'd you always know when I'm down?
As the night dissolves into this final frame
You're a sweet release, you save me from my brain
From my brain, from my brain, from my brain
Oh Joy
When you call me
I was giving up
Oh I was giving in
Joy
Set my mind free
I was giving up
Oh I was giving in
How'd you always know when I'm down?
How'd you always know when I'm down?
I feel Joy when you call me
I feel Joy when you call me
I feel Joy when you call me
I feel Joy when you call me
How'd you always know when I'm down?
How'd you always know when I'm down?
